can’t seem to handle 2 blogs at one time due to the hectic preparation I am involved in now. Perhaps, even after dec 26, it’s not just about MY life, but ours. While I’m deciding whether I should shut this down and concentrate on the other, tune into our storybooklife instead 🙂

It was a planned mummy bubs birthday gift. The 3 boys and I split the entrance fee while daddy bubs bought us entrance levy to the casino as well as a expensive dinner! A Happy day indeed.
Didn’t catch much pictures with bubs because he was half the time snapping away happily on his DSLR. Here are some of the rare shots :p
Taken inside the water world show
Outside the water world
A finale shot with the bubs family
Check out his fb for more scenic shots of Universal Studio..
The largest take away that day, is a voiceless me! Went through an indeed thrilling Egypt ride. I went total hysterical but the 3 brothers remained calm. They bought a candid picture of the ride and I AM NOT going to post on my blog because it’s so embarrassing. *geeze*
Casino was quite an experience too. For the first time, I set down in front of a slot machine and slide in my $50 with no intention of getting it back. But instead, I returned home with almost $400. Woot! It was pure luck. But seems a little fun!
As for bubs, he has a nasty one. Not only he lost about $100, he had an encounter with an unreasonable aunty. My takeaway, the casino is not as prestige as I thought it should be. Quite a disappointment. Hope that Sands would be better.
Alls well, I seemed to have grown closer to the bubs family. Outings like this is very rewarding. Love develops…

time clocked now is 6.32pm. I have nothing on hand and am suppose to head off for a relaxing weekend. but why am I sitting in front of my lappy still? because I am waiting for someone who is still at Ang Mo Kio with God knows what is he doing. A planned dinner at Katong Shopping center for a plate of frying hot chicken cutlet. It has been some time since I last have it.
Back to the main topic–>third day at work today. Too early to make any emotional comments but the current has a feel-good vibe. Things that I am exposed to and going to be exposed to more would be a complete different ball game from the previous. Nothing local, everything flies regional. Everything that I keyed into that powerpoint would be adopted by markets like Viet, Thai, China, Mexio etc. It seems like I am going to be a fish out of water but I am still hanging on in there. Still learning the strokes, but I know I will reach the end of the pool safe and sound.
Systems here are so much more corporate than back there. I feel really comfortable and I do enjoy the process. A freak am I? People hates process but maybe I’m a more systematic person, I will feel more secure with process in place. But the only sad part about the new system is, I am a complete idiot when I am using lotus notes. Gosh! I miss outlook already!
Transport here is still a question mark. Unsure about the real time I should clock in (although official time is 9) as I am still figuring out my bosses time in. keke! In the meantime, I am taking a 7.52am express bus from my door step and it reaches Ogilvy doorstep at a grand time of 8.36am. I will take my stroll and buy myself a nice breakie at Ya kun and then crawl my way up to my seat.
Just received a big debrief on my team’s background. It seems like everyone is new. All exported from the HK office (My account is transferred from the HK office to SG because the client’s base shifted their hub to SG), hence the slang I hear around me includes thai, brit, Aussie, American and even French. Geeze. Good luck to me!
The team is new, hence a lot of system are not yet finalized. Good that I’m one of the pioneer to craft the system, but this would also mean that it is going to be a painful teething period. Good luck to me! I am once again the baby in the team despite holding on to a “Regional Account Manager” title now. But I will have a baby bitch coming in (an intern) next month! Yeah! Someone to spread the sai gang with.
That is it for now. I shall call that person and check out his whereabouts..
Till laters~~ (in the meantime as I prepare for my farewell overdue post)

Cleared my table. Left with the baby aquarium. Empty my pedestal. Cleaned my in-tray. Just counting down to my last days here.
Finished majority of my work, outstanding is the last TVC for at least 2 years. Don’t think I’ll get to touch TV there at the house of red. But I’ve learnt enough here. It’s time to get out of the comfort zone, to be uncomfortable again. You will only grow, if you are uncomfortable.
Requested for official end date (Next Thurs) instead of the following Tue. No reply. Honestly, 2 more days doesn’t make any difference. The storm has subsided or should I say, an inaccurate perception of disaster has been carefully managed.
I will miss a few people here but I just have to be brave and march forward.
Taking my own sweet time doing the “bible” for M0nopoly 09 for a proper handover to the 10 Monop0ly team.
Waiting for the clock to tock and then I will walked out of the gate with a smile. 🙂

bkk trip was fulfilling with a total expenditure of $1000 (less hotel and ari tix). Plunge into Platinum Fashion Mall on the second day and 80% of the budget was splurged there. I went there is a goal to update my wardrobe & shoe cabinet for the new job starting early next month.
Bought myself 7 pairs of shoes, a few work dresses, blouses, 20 iphone covers etc. Fierce sial!!
Bubs tailored 10 shirts and 1 vest ready for his new posting as well as our Jul taiwan photo shoot.
Reality strikes me one day before the work frenzy break on Monday. Everything is slowing down as I’ve finished my last campaign for this wonderful account. Tying up my loose ends with this place and prepare for the new life.
Boss asked me to have a chat with the almighty. But deep in my heart, it’s pointless. I don’t want to head through the door in preparation for a lashing session. The email from him already says it all. period.
Taking things rather slowly for the wedding preparation; catch more updated actions at ourstorybooklife. I like the pace 🙂

Last Sat night was definitely the sweetest weekend I ever experienced in my entire life. Believed that many would have know by now I am officially engaged to a wonderful man called Mr bubs tim ju@n. PLease follow through the process of this wonderful journey at http://www.ourstorybooklife.wordpress.com. I can’t explained how over the moon I was. I love you bubs. For making it the best I ever would have. *muacks*
Leading on to this over the top weekend is the world crashing down on me. I tendered at work. Faced loads of emotional blackmailing. “horrified” is a definite understatement. The only word I would used in situations like that to myself is “UNFAIR”. A complete timely misfortune leading to a downfall of 2 years of hard work and effort.
I should STOP pitying myself and move on with life. I would put on huge smile as I strut out of THE gate. Nothing less.

although I’m merely 28 this year, I just feel so tired at 11pm, will often reside lastest 12am. I’m tired and old. Coming home straight after work became my motivation. Don’t even have the energy to meet up with friends when work ended. The thought about needing to only able to sleep after 12 scares me a little. WERT!
More truths had been told this afternoon. Never knew your departure was because of her. I’ve lost all angst and frustrations when speaking to her. I completely indifferent about every comment passed by her. It’s just work. I finished my work with pride, I don’t give a shit to what it’s said.
Have to reach work half an hour earlier, this reasons my early turning isn’t it? keke

Took a short trip to the so called lobster town (by yc). He’ve been there on a photographer’s trip + a spread of lobster lunch. We took ate up to $50 Sing dollar. This calculates to tonnes of lobster we indulge in ringgit. Yums..
On the side, we took some really nice photos too. Saturated colours spread across this vintage shop.
We also managed to snap a shot of an old gas station
Have a great new year!
